The archaeological unit (and therefore the local council) has occupier's liability. The need to secure the site should be documented in a risk assessment. The site perimeter needs to be secure and warning signs placed on it. Heras fencing is cheaper than litigation.
Point the project manager to the SCAUM H&S manual. The site director, project manager and unit director might all be considered liable. With that in mind they might be a little bit more pushy when negotaiating with the client!
